Jeff's New Horizons Blog

On Sunday, I found a scallop while diving. Pascal popped up and said that when we feel dizzy, maybe we’re just noticing that the world is spinning. 😵

Yesterday, Bones sent me some art in the mail. It was a common painting, and it was authentic! That’s the third authentic piece of art my villagers have mailed me this month!

The only disappointing thing is that I already had a common painting in the museum. But I’ll hang onto it for a future prize or giveaway.

Gullivarrr the pirate was in town, and I went diving to find his communicator for him; I found it on my third dive.

Marina told me that she loved the weather, because it’s great for air-drying her laundry. Wait, wouldn’t she prefer her laundry to be wet? She is an octopus, after all.

Later, I found her sitting on the ground near a bridge. It looked a bit odd because of all the extra legs. Uh, arms. Whatever. 😛

Today, I received some pirate pants in the mail from Gulliver.

Marina was home today, so I finally got to see the inside of her house now that she’s unpacked. Her house is very pink. Unfortunately, she was sick with a cold. But I gave her some medicine, and she’s already starting to feel better.

I noticed some cool cumulonimbus clouds in the sky tonight. I believe this is only the 2nd time I’ve seen them; the first time was last July.

I posted a (short) new video today, showing the names that jocks give to their abs in two different Animal Crossing games. Most of you probably know about the New Horizons names, which all start with “Ab-,” but the names in Wild World are completely different.

See you all next time!

Yesterday, Tybalt sent me a letter thanking me for the birthday present. I found his photo attached! This is my first duplicate photo in New Horizons, and I believe it was also the first villager photo I got in the mail.

C.J. was in town, and he wanted me to catch three big-time fish in a row for his seasports challenge. So I caught an arowana, a squid, and a whale shark to complete the challenge. I later sold him 16 fish for 227k.

I found Celeste up by the museum, and she taught me the DIY recipe for a nova light.

Next, I purchased five Nook Miles Tickets and started searching for my next villager! On the first mystery island, I found Leonardo the leopard. From there, things got worse. I then found Chops the hideous pig, and then an old nemesis of mine…

Rizzo! No thanks! It took me forever to get rid of him.

But on the 4th mystery island, I found the perfect replacement for Midge: Marina the octopus! I immediately asked her to move to Forest.

Today, Marina moved in, and I welcomed her to town.

Midge and Marina have quite a few things in common. They’re both cute, they’re both “normal” personality villagers, their names both start with the letter M, and they’re both pink! So all the pink flowers that I planted around Midge’s house still feel right at home.

But their similarities remind me of when Apollo moved into Keaton’s spot, and I didn’t have to change the name of Eagle Mountain.

K.K. Slider was in town, and he performed K.K. Etude for me, Apollo, and Louie. During the show, Apollo’s left wing looked like a large knife that was slicing through my arm. Ouch!

Shortly after that, I wrapped up my game for the night. See you all next time!

Yesterday, Agent S told me that she wanted to get her brand out there. She wanted to go viral, so she asked me to spread the word that she is a virus. I’m not sure that’s exactly how that works, but okay. Agent S is a virus, everybody!! 😂

Jolly Redd was in town, but his only authentic work of art was a worthy painting, which I already had in the museum. But I still bought it for a future prize. The purchase earned me 3,000 Nook Miles, because I have now spent five million bells on the island.

Midge told me that she was thinking about moving away, and I told her to go for it. I like Midge a lot, but it’s time to move on.

Today, she was all packed up and ready to go. I made sure to say goodbye to her. Good luck to you, Midge! I’m sure we’ll meet again in the future!

The mood was quite different at Tybalt’s house; he was celebrating his birthday! I gave him a tiger jacket for his present. Happy birthday, Tybalt!

His next-door neighbor Apple was also there to help him celebrate.

Hornsby told me that he likes to mix things up on his daily walks, just to keep the bugs guessing where he’s at. 😛

I then spent some time completing some Nook Miles+ goals, and earning Miles I don’t need. 😛 Then I wrapped up my night in Forest. I’ll be back again soon though, because I’ll have some villager hunting to do!
